The sad part is, it terms of learning skills, this is literally the most equality laden industry.
You can used a decade old computer, a used raspberry pi, an old discarded laptop and learn, code, read, play. There's no wall, no secret knowledge, and OSS software has code, and man pages, and information everywhere.
There are endless websites and communities, forums, mailing lists, and no one cares who 'webname45' is, or what their skin colour is, or orientation.
This field is about intellect, not about going to a entitled school, or even school at all! You can be a high school drop out, and easily succeed here! So many people are self taught, and it has nothing to do with privilege, or cost, or access, none... none of that is a barrier to learn in this field.
Complaining about "this is complex" is asinine, and conflates "learning stuff" with privilege.
"Learning stuff" is not exclusionary, when there is no bar, no restrictions on doing so. When anyone can do so.
People growing up in third world nations, malnourished, hungry, poor or no schooling, with english as a second language, easily pick this stuff up.
Because all it takes is intellect, raw intellect. Not learning, not background, no help needed, no money needed, but just intellect and reading.
And if you're going to call intellect or "knowing stuff you can understand for free" barriers, it's you that's the problem.
